Reacts with iron and steel when there's moisture involved.
History
Dr. Richard Wolffenstein discovered acetone peroxide in 1895. He reacted acetone with hydrogen peroxide. He was the first chemist to use acids as inorganic catalysts. Joseph Lister discovered acetone as the first antiseptic.
Structure
Information/Uses
Acetone is a ketone, which means it has a carbonyl in it. Most people are used to acetone as a clear and colorless liquid, but in it's solid state it actually looks like snow. Acetone's main use is to act as a solvent. A solvent helps things dissolve and it does this with things like plastics and synthetic fibers. It is present in blood and urine. People with diabetes produce more acetone than their body needs and pregnant or nursing women also have more of it in their bodies. Acetone is also used when the body breaks down fat. In nature, it is found in plants, trees, gas from volcanoes, and forest fires. Exhaust from trucks and cars and cigarette smoke contain acetone as well. Acetone can be natural or man made and it can be produced directly or indirectly from propylene. It is used to produce methyl methacrylate and bishpenol A. Most of it's common uses are for cleaning purposes, nail polish remover, paint thinner, degreaser, acne treatments, and adhesive removers.
